Investec (comprising Investec plc and Investec Limited) - Unaudited combined consolidated financial results for the year ended 31 March 2021
Basis of presentation
This announcement covers the results of Investec plc and Investec Limited (together "the Investec group" or "Investec" or "the group") for the year ended 31 March 2021 (FY2021). Commentary on the group's financial performance represents the continuing operations (excluding the consolidated results for Ninety One, formerly Investec Asset Management, for the period 1 April 2019 to 13 March 2020; including the equity accounted earnings from 13 March 2020 (date of demerger)). Unless stated otherwise, comparatives relate to the group's continuing operations for the year ended 31 March 2020 (FY2020).
The average Rand/Pound Sterling exchange rate depreciated by 13.6% in FY2021.
Fani Titi, Group Chief Executive commented:
"The 2021 financial year was a tale of two halves. First half performance was characterised by difficult and volatile market and economic conditions attributable primarily to COVID-19. The second half showed strong earnings recovery, supported by our resilient client base, a rebound in economic activity and a greater sense of optimism spurred on by global vaccination campaigns. We carry this momentum into the 2022 financial year, focused on actively servicing our clients and delivering long-term value.
Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations for FY2021 of 28.9p was 14.7% behind the prior year, with second half earnings 58.1% ahead of the first half. Tangible net asset value per share increased by 12.7% to 425.7p. A final dividend of 7.5p has been proposed bringing the full year dividend to 13.0p.
We are delighted to report record funds under management and operating profit in our Wealth businesses. The South African Specialist Bank produced an excellent performance in a difficult environment reporting flat profits in Rands. This performance highlights the quality of our client franchises and our commitment to outstanding client service. The UK Specialist Bank client franchises performed strongly showing continued traction in our client acquisition strategy across the business, reporting loan book growth of 8.7%. The investment in our UK Private Banking business is bearing fruit and performing ahead of expectations.
Implementation of the Board's strategy to improve capital allocation and reduce complexity of the business is largely complete, and the associated costs have been absorbed in these results. As a result of the actions we have taken over the last two years, Investec is well positioned to deliver an improved performance.
While the improving economic outlook is reassuring, the short-term trajectory and the long-term effects of the pandemic are uncertain. The group is well capitalised and lowly leveraged, adequately provisioned and has strong liquidity - enabling us to benefit from continued economic recovery.
I wish to thank my colleagues for their dedication to our clients throughout the COVID-19 crisis and for the support they have shown each other during a tough year. I applaud the work done to support local communities since the start of the pandemic and am proud that we have held true to our values, living in society, not off it."
Key earnings drivers
Our client engagement has been consistent and proactive, leveraging off the various digital platforms at our disposal.
• The Wealth & Investment business reported growth in funds under management (FUM) of 30.4% to £58 billion (FY2020: £45 billion) reflecting market recovery, good investment performance and continued net inflows of £1.1 billion.
• Lending franchises reported positive book growth in the second half, ending the year with a 6.1% increase in core loans to £26.4 billion (FY2020: £24.9 billion). The Private Banking franchise reported higher core loans year on year supported by strong lending book growth in 2H2021. Though the corporate lending book saw improvement in the second half, overall, the book ended lower than the prior year. Good client acquisition in SA and UK supported a 6.9% increase in deposits.
• Client activity within the Specialist Banking business increased since December 2020 with strong equity capital markets performance in the UK Corporate and Investment Bank.
Performance highlights
• Total operating income (before impairments) declined by 9.2% as the positive impact of higher average interest earning assets, growth in FUM and the first-time inclusion of the equity accounted earnings of the group's share of Ninety One was negatively impacted by lower interest rates, reduced client activity and elevated risk management and risk reduction costs related to our UK structured products book.
• Costs: Total operating costs reduced by 1.8% year on year with fixed costs decreasing by 6.6% driven by headcount reduction and lower discretionary spending. These savings were partially offset by an increase in variable remuneration reflecting improved business momentum and continued investment in technology. The group incurred approximately £26 million of one-off restructuring costs in the period.
• Asset quality: Net lower expected credit loss (ECL) impairment charges of £99.4 million (FY2020: £133.3 million) resulted in a credit loss ratio (CLR) of 35bps (H1 2021: 47bps, FY2020: 52bps) reflecting sound credit quality and higher recoveries.
• Return on Equity (ROE): The group generated an ROE of 6.6% (FY2020: 8.3%) and a return on tangible equity (ROTE) of 7.2% (FY2020: 9.2%).
• Capital and liquidity: Capital, leverage and liquidity ratios remain sound and ahead of internal board-approved minimum targets and regulatory requirements. The common equity tier (CET) 1 and leverage ratio was 12.2% and 7.6% for Investec Limited (FIRB approach) and 11.2% and 7.9% for Investec plc (standardised approach). Cash and near cash was £13.2 billion at 31 March 2021, representing 38.4% of customer deposits.
• Net asset value (NAV): NAV per share increased by 11.1% to 460.2p (31 March 2020: 414.3p) and tangible NAV (TNAV) per share increased by 12.7% to 425.7p (31 March 2020: 377.6p).
Strategic execution: tail-end of simplification
We took significant steps in the current year to deliver on our strategy to simplify and reduce complexity of the business. Costs associated with the implementation of these initiatives have been absorbed in these results.
• We announced the wind down of our Australian operations in December 2020 and sold most of the book in March 2021
• Reduced the group investment portfolio and are encouraged by the improving environment for asset realisations
• The UK bank was reorganised with support functions centralised to improve operational efficiency. Regrettably, the measures taken included headcount reductions in the London office
• Relocated certain functions to lower cost geographies to improve operational leverage within the business
• The losses incurred in the UK structured products book and the heightened level of risk necessitated a shift in strategy and the discontinuation of this funding channel
• Approval was received from the Prudential Authority to adopt the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (AIRB) approach for the SME and Corporate models effective 1 April 2021. As a result, the pro-forma AIRB CET1 ratio was 12.8% at 31 March 2021, an approximate 60bps uplift on FIRB. We are working towards further adoption of AIRB on certain remaining portfolios and expect a further 100bps to 150bps uplift to the CET1 ratio.
Dividend
The board has proposed a final dividend of 7.5p, resulting in a total dividend of 13.0p for FY2021 with a net payout ratio of 45%. The dividend has been arrived at after taking current regulatory guidance into consideration.
Outlook
We remain encouraged by the momentum we are seeing across the business. The short-term outlook is dependent on progress in containing the pandemic and the extent of economic recovery in the geographies in which we operate. While the vaccine roll-out programmes in the UK and other advanced economies are pleasing, the slow progress in South Africa leaves the country vulnerable to the emerging third wave.
Should the economic recovery currently underway persist throughout FY2022, we expect the revenue momentum experienced in the second half to continue; supported by growth in client activity and recovery of non-interest income revenue streams which were negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 1H2021. Operating costs are expected to be well managed and will also benefit from significant restructurings effected in the prior year. ECL is expected to remain within the through-the-cycle range of 30bps - 40bps. The group expects FY2022 adjusted earnings per share to improve from the reported 28.9p to between 36p and 41p.
The group remains committed to achieving a 12% to 16% ROE (Investec limited: 15% to 18% and Investec plc: 11% to 15%) in the medium-term. Achievement of these targets will be underpinned by a sharpened focus on growth in select initiatives through connected client ecosystems enabled by shared digital and operational platforms. Capital allocation efforts are expected to result in excess capital as we optimise the investment portfolio and complete our migration to AIRB in the South African business.
We are well positioned to pursue our identified growth objectives and take advantage of opportunities that the new environment presents.

Southern Africa Wealth & Investment (in Rands)
Adjusted operating profit increased by 10.6%.
FUM increased by 32.0% to R333.0 billion (FY2020: of R252.4 billion), with good net discretionary inflows of R7.6 billion (non-discretionary outflows of R8.5 billion). Revenue grew by 7.8%, supported by increased levels of trading activity (given market volatility), higher average discretionary and annuity FUM and market performance.
Operating costs increased by 6.6% driven by inflationary increases and higher information technology spend. The business achieved an operating margin of 31.2% (2020: 30.4%).
UK & Other Wealth & Investment
Adjusted operating profit increased by 18.0% to £74.3 million (FY2020: £63.0 million).
The UK Wealth & Investment business reported positive net organic growth in FUM of 3.3% since 31 March 2020. Net inflows of £1.1 billion, favourable market movements and good investment performance, contributed to a record increase in FUM to £41.7 billion (FY2020: £33.1 billion). Revenue was broadly flat compared to the prior year, positively impacted by organic growth in FUM in the current and prior year, increased transaction volumes and the associated repositioning of client portfolios, and negatively impacted by lower interest rates.
Operating costs reduced by 3.7% to £245.2 million, including one-off headcount reduction related costs of £4.0 million and a £2.0 million increase in the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) levy (FY2020: £4.1 million).
The UK domestic business (which accounts for 97.1% of FUM) reported an operating margin of 25.2% (FY2020: 22.4%), while a combined operating margin for UK & Other of 23.3% (FY2020: 19.8%) was achieved.
Specialist Banking
Adjusted operating profit from the Specialist Banking business decreased by 24.6% to £276.3 million (FY2020: £366.4 million).

Southern Africa Specialist Banking (in Rands)
Adjusted operating profit for the Southern African business decreased by 1.2%.
We have seen good momentum since December 2020 with stronger activity levels, growth in lending books, good client acquisition and improved point-of-sale activity from private clients as well as increased corporate trading activity. The positive impact from higher trading income, lower year on year fair value markdowns on investments and a lower ECL charge was offset by the endowment effect from interest rate cuts and lower overall fee income due to reduced client activity in the first half.
Net interest income decreased by 4.2%, driven primarily by the 300bps rate cuts since January 2020. The increase in trading income was negatively impacted by lower overall lending and transactional activity compared to the prior year and reduced investment income due to negative fair value adjustments, lower realisations and dividend income given the prevailing economic backdrop.
ECL impairment charges were 39.9% lower, resulting in a CLR of 18bps (FY 2020: 38bps). Notwithstanding the additional overlays raised in the current year and higher specific impairments, our 18bps credit loss ratio is driven by muted growth in Stage 1 and Stage 2 impairment requirements and higher recoveries.
Operating costs increased by 1.0%, due primarily to costs associated with the employee share scheme linked to the Ninety One demerger, normalised staff costs and the first-time consolidation of a European logistics property asset management company acquired in the prior year. The cost to income ratio was 55.7% (FY2020: 53.7%).
Overall, net core loans were marginally down at R287.3 billion (31 March 2020: R288.9 billion). The private clients loan book grew by 2.2%, while the corporate lending book declined year on year due to higher repayments and lower net new originations.
UK & Other Specialist Banking
Adjusted operating profit for the UK & Other Specialist Bank declined by 56.4% to £44.8 million (FY2020: £102.6 million). The £57.9 million reduction in profits was driven by risk management and risk reduction costs of £93 million related to the structured products book.
We saw strong equity capital markets activity and good levels of lending turnover across private client and certain corporate client lending areas. Private client activities saw good origination and client acquisition, particularly in 2H2021 where net lending growth was c.58% above 1H2021. Increased loan growth momentum in 2H2021 stemming from fund finance, asset finance and power & infrastructure finance was negatively impacted by the sale of the lending book in Australia and increased redemptions seen across the book. As a result, the corporate loan book was broadly flat year on year.
Notwithstanding lower interest rates, net interest income increased by 3.3% supported by growth in average private client core loans. Strong fees from equity capital market activities and an improvement in investment income were negatively impacted by lower lending fees and structured products risk management and risk reduction costs. These costs were £40 million in the second half, below the £53 million reported in the first half. For the 2022 financial year we expect these costs to be approximately £30 million. This guidance is subject to various assumptions, which if altered, may result in a different outcome to management expectations.
ECL impairment charges decreased by 6.1%, resulting in a CLR of 56bps (FY2020: 69bps). This was mainly driven by a lower Stage 3 ECL impairment charge in the current year.
Operating costs: Fixed operating costs reduced by 5.6%, while the increase in variable remuneration resulted in an overall 11.5% increase in operating costs. These costs include one-off costs of approximately £22 million associated with the implementation of restructures as part of the group's strategy to simplify and focus the business, the reorganisation of the UK bank including related redundancies and closure of operations in Australia.
Net core loans grew by 3.9% to £12.3 billion (31 March 2020: £11.9 billion) driven by organic growth in the private clients book (37.2% growth). The sale and wind down of the Australian business and redemptions across the corporate book negatively impacted book growth. Excluding Australia, net core loans for the UK bank grew by approximately 8.7%.
Group Investments
We have separated these assets from our core banking activities to make a more meaningful assessment of the underlying performance and value of the franchise businesses, and at the same time providing transparency of the standalone values of the assets classified as Group Investments.
The assets include the group's 25% holding in Ninety One, 47.4% stake in the IEP Group, 24.31% held in the Investec Property Fund (IPF) and some historical unlisted equity investments.
Adjusted operating profit from Group Investments was £34.4 million (FY2020: £16.7 million).

Totals and variance determined in £'000.
The positive impact from the inclusion of the equity accounted earnings from the group's 25% stake in Ninety One and profit on disposal of certain investments was partly offset by the impact of COVID-19 related lockdowns on the profitability of IPF and IEP, and the impact of negative FX revaluations on Euro-denominated investments in IPF.
Group Costs
Group Costs decreased by 37.7% to £33.5 million (FY2020: £53.8 million) positively impacted by the non-repeat of expenses associated with the exit of a marketing contract in the UK in the prior year.
Overview of financial performance
Total operating income before expected credit loss impairment charges
Total operating income before expected credit losses decreased by 9.2% to £1 641 million (FY2020: £1 807 million).
• Net interest income decreased by 7.2% to £778.1 million (FY2020: £838.6 million) favourably impacted by higher average interest earning assets relative to prior year and negatively impacted by lower interest rates and increased liquidity levels at the height of COVID-19. Net interest margin was 1.71% (FY 2020: 1.93%) in the South African business and 1.90% (FY 2020: 2.02%) for the UK business.
• Net fee and commission income declined by 7.0% to £748.9 million (FY2020: £804.9 million). Fees in the Wealth & Investment business increased by 1.6% driven by organic growth in FUM in the current and prior year, increased transaction volumes and the associated repositioning of client portfolios, partially offset by lower interest rates. Fees in the Specialist Banking business were impacted primarily by lower lending and transactional activity relative to the prior year, while Group Investment fees reflected lower rental income from IPF and significant non-repeat fees in the UK in the prior year.
• Investment income decreased by 18.5% to £32.0 million (FY2020: £39.3 million) primarily reflecting the negative impact of COVID-19 on investment property valuations in IPF and higher realisation gains, dividend income and unrealised equity revaluations in the prior year (within the South African Private Bank) which did not repeat.
• Share of post-taxation profit of associates and joint venture holdings increased by 55.8% to £42.5 million (FY2020: £27.2 million) positively impacted by the inclusion of associate earnings from the group's 25% holding in Ninety One and negatively impacted by lower earnings from the IEP Group due to lockdown and the non-repeat of a realisation in the prior year.
• Trading income arising from customer flow declined by 43.8% to £35.6 million (FY2020: £63.3 million) driven by elevated risk management and risk reduction costs related to the UK structured products book. The base effect from fair value losses in the prior year and positive fair value adjustments in the current year on certain portfolios, had a favourable effect.
• Trading income arising from balance sheet management and other trading activities netted a loss of £18.9 million from a profit of £26.7 million in FY2020. The loss was driven primarily by the mark-to market movement on interest rate and foreign exchange swaps.
• Other operating income of £23.0 million (FY2020: £6.9 million) reflects the fair value movements of the Ninety One shares held in the group's staff share scheme. These shares are reflected on the group's balance sheet in other assets. The corresponding liability is reflected in other liabilities with changes in the value of the liability expensed through staff costs in operating costs.
Expected credit loss (ECL) impairment charges
Impairments declined by 25.4% to £99.4 million (FY2020: £133.3 million) and the CLR reduced from 52bps at FY2020 to 35bps at FY2021 driven primarily by the impact of muted book growth on Stage 1 and 2 ECLs and higher recoveries in South Africa.
In South Africa, the Stage 1 coverage ratio remained at 0.4% (31 March 2020: 0.4%). The Stage 2 coverage ratio declined to 2.6% (31 March 2020: 2.8%) driven by the positive impact of the updated macro-economic assumptions applied in our models. Despite an increase in Stage 3 specific impairments, the coverage ratio declined to 17.5% (31 March 2020: 42.2%) due to some highly collateralised deals migrating from Stage 2 and specific exposures with higher provision coverage written off in the current year.
In the UK, the Stage 1 coverage ratio reduced to 0.3% (31 March 2020: 0.4%). The Stage 2 coverage ratio decreased from 5.4% at FY2020 to 3.4% as a significant proportion of the exposures that migrated into Stage 2 were from lower risk exposures, transferred into Stage 2 based on the deteriorating forward-looking view on their credit performance under current macro-economic expectations rather than specific credit concerns. The Stage 3 coverage ratio increased to 30.4% (31 March 2020: 28.2%) notwithstanding a decrease in overall Stage 3 exposure.
Operating costs
Operating costs decreased by 1.8% to £1 165 million (FY2020: £1 186 million) driven by a reduction in headcount and discretionary expenditure, partially offset by higher variable remuneration due to positive business momentum, employee benefit costs related to Ninety One shares held in the group's staff share scheme and the first-time consolidation of a European logistics property asset management company acquired in the last quarter of FY2020. Fixed costs reduced by 6.6%, while variable costs increased by 25.5% reflecting a level of normalisation in line with improving revenue trends. Lower revenue resulted in a cost to income ratio of 70.9% (FY2020: 68.2%).
Taxation
The taxation charge on adjusted operating profit from continuing operations was £74.5 million (FY2020: £54.7 million), resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.3% (FY2020: 11.9%). The increase was due to normalisation of the effective tax rate in South Africa and the non-repeat of losses incurred in the UK in FY2020 related to certain strategic actions.
Profit or loss attributable to other non-controlling interests and non-controlling interests share of associate impairment
The (loss)/ profit attributable to other non-controlling interests of £0.5 million (FY2020: profit of £68.0 million) relates to the (loss)/ profit attributable to non-controlling interests in IPF. The non-controlling interests share of associate impairment of £9.1 million relates to the loss on sale of IPF's associate investment in the UK.
Discontinued operations
There were no discontinued operations for FY2021. Discontinued operations in the comparative period reflect the asset management business which was demerged and separately listed as Ninety One in March 2020.
Factoring in the significant gain from the demerger in the prior year, basic EPS from continuing and discontinued operations reduced to 25.2p (FY2020: 115.3p).
Earnings from the group's 25% holding in Ninety One have been equity accounted and included in share of post-taxation profit of associates and joint venture holdings within continuing operations for FY2021.
Balance sheet analysis
Since 31 March 2020:
• Ordinary shareholders' equity increased by 10.2% to £4.3 billion driven by an increase in net retained earnings.
• NAV per share increased by 11.1% to 460.2p and TNAV per share (which excludes goodwill, software, and other intangible assets) increased by 12.7% to 425.7p.
• The group generated an ROE and ROTE of 6.6% (FY2020: 8.3%) and 7.2% (FY2020: 9.2%).
• Net core loans increased by 6.1% to £26.4 billion year on year. The South African book was marginally down in Rands at R287.3 billion, while in the UK, net core loans grew by 3.9% to £12.3 billion (or 8.7% excluding Australia).
Funding and liquidity
Customer deposits grew by 6.9% to £34.4 billion (31 March 2020: £32.2 billion). Cash and near cash of £13.2 billion (£6.9 billion in Investec plc and R129.8 billion in Investec Limited) at 31 March 2021 represents approximately 38.4% of customer deposits. Loans and advances to customers as a percentage of customer deposits was 75.6%.
The group comfortably exceeds Basel liquidity requirements for the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR).
• Investec Bank Limited (consolidated group) ended the period to 31 March 2021 with the three-month average of its LCR at 164.0% and an NSFR of 113.3%.
• For Investec plc the LCR and NSFR are calculated using the relevant EU regulation, applying our own interpretations where required. The LCR reported to the PRA at 31 March 2021 was 440% and the internally calculated NSFR was 129% at 31 March 2021. Excluding the sale of the Australian business, the LCR and NSFR were 335% and 126%.
Capital adequacy and leverage ratios
The group maintained capital and leverage ratios ahead of both internal board-approved minimum targets and regulatory requirements.

1. The capital adequacy disclosures follow Investec's normal basis of presentation to show a consistent basis of calculation across the jurisdictions in which the group operates. For Investec plc this does not include the deduction of foreseeable charges and dividends when calculating CET1 capital. The impact of this deduction totalling £25 million for Investec plc (31 March 2020: £0) would lower the CET1 ratio by 17bps (31 March 2020: 0bps).
2. Investec Limited's capital information includes unappropriated profits. If unappropriated profits are excluded from the capital information, Investec Limited's CET1 ratio would be 39bps (31 March 2020: 24bps) lower.
3. The CET1 ratio (fully loaded) and the leverage ratio (fully loaded) assume full adoption of IFRS 9 and full adoption of all CRD IV rules or South African Prudential Authority regulations, as applicable in the relevant jurisdictions. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9 Investec plc and IBP elected to designate its subordinated fixed rate medium-term notes due in 2022 at fair value. By the time of full adoption of IFRS 9 in 2023, these subordinated liabilities will have reached final maturity and will be redeemed at par value. The remaining interest rate portion of the fair value adjustment at 31 March 2021 of £3 million (post taxation), has therefore been excluded from the fully loaded ratios as it will be released into profit and loss over the remaining life of the instrument.
4. Investec plc is not subject to the UK leverage ratio framework; however for comparative purposes this ratio has been disclosed. This framework excludes qualifying central bank balances from the calculation of the leverage exposure measure.
* Investec Limited has received approval to adopt the Advanced Internal Rating (AIRB) approach for the SME and Corporate models, effective 1 April 2021. We present numbers on a pro-forma basis for 31 March 2021.

Notes to the commentary section above
Presentation of financial information
Investec operates under a Dual Listed Companies (DLC) structure with primary listings of Investec plc on the London Stock Exchange and Investec Limited on the JSE Limited.
In terms of the contracts constituting the DLC structure, Investec plc and Investec Limited effectively form a single economic enterprise in which the economic and voting rights of ordinary shareholders of the companies are maintained in equilibrium relative to each other. The directors of the two companies consider that for financial reporting purposes, the fairest presentation is achieved by combining the results and financial position of both companies.
Accordingly, these year end results reflect the results and financial position of the combined DLC group under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), denominated in Pounds Sterling. In the commentary above, all references to Investec or the group relate to the combined DLC group comprising Investec plc and Investec Limited.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives included in the commentary above relate to the year ended 31 March 2020.
Amounts represented on a neutral currency basis for income statement items assume that the relevant average exchange rates for the year ended 31 March 2021 remain the same as those in the prior period. Amounts represented on a neutral currency basis for balance sheet items assume that the relevant closing exchange rates at 31 March 2021 remain the same as those at 31 March 2020.
Neutral currency information is considered as pro-forma financial information as per the JSE Listings Requirements and is therefore the responsibility of the group's board of directors. Pro-forma financial information was prepared for illustrative purposes and because of its nature may not fairly present the issuer's financial position, changes in equity, or results of operations. The external auditors performed a review of the pro-forma financial information and the opinion is available for inspection at the registered office of Investec upon request.
Foreign currency impact
The group's reporting currency is Pounds Sterling. Certain of the group's operations are conducted by entities outside the UK. The results of operations and the financial condition of these individual companies are reported in the local currencies in which they are domiciled, including Rands, Australian Dollars, Euros and US Dollars. These results are then translated into Pounds Sterling at the applicable foreign currency exchange rates for inclusion in the group's combined consolidated financial statements. In the case of the income statement, the weighted average rate for the relevant period is applied and, in the case of the balance sheet, the relevant closing rate is used.
The following table sets out the movements in certain relevant exchange rates against Pounds Sterling over the period:

Profit Forecast
The following matters highlighted in this announcement contain forward-looking statements:
• Adjusted EPS is expected to be between 36p and 41p in FY2022
The basis of preparation of this statement and the assumptions upon which it was based are set out below. This statement is subject to various risks and uncertainties and other factors - these factors may cause the group's actual future results, performance or achievements in the markets in which it operates to differ from those expressed in this Profit Forecast.
Any forward looking statements made are based on the knowledge of the group at 20 May 2021.
This forward looking statement represents a profit forecast under the Listing Rules. The Profit Forecast relates to the year ending 31 March 2022.
The financial information on which the Profit Forecast was based is the responsibility of the Directors of the group and has not been reviewed and reported on by the group's auditors.
Basis of preparation
• The Profit Forecast has been properly compiled using the assumptions stated below, and on a basis consistent with the accounting policies adopted in the group's 31 March 2021 unaudited preliminary financial statements, which are in accordance with IFRS.
Assumptions
The Profit Forecast has been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions during the forecast period:
Factors outside the influence or control of the Investec Board:
• There will be no material change in the political and/or economic environment that would materially affect the Investec group.
• There will be no material change in legislation or regulation impacting on the Investec group's operations or its accounting policies.
• There will be no business disruption that will have a significant impact on the Investec group's operations, whether for Covid-19 or otherwise.
• The Rand/Pound Sterling and US Dollar/Pound Sterling exchange rates and the tax rates remain materially unchanged from the prevailing rates detailed above.
• There will be no material changes in the structure of the markets, client demand or the competitive environment.
Estimates and judgements
In preparation of the Profit Forecast, the group makes estimations and applies judgement that could affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities within the reporting period. Key areas in which judgement is applied include:
• Valuation of unlisted investments primarily in the private equity, direct investments portfolios and embedded derivatives. Key valuation inputs are based on the most relevant observable market inputs, adjusted where necessary for factors that specifically apply to the individual investments and recognising market volatility.
• The determination of ECL against assets that are carried at amortised cost and ECL relating to debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) involves the assessment of future cash flows which is judgmental in nature.
• Valuation of investment properties is performed by capitalising the budget net income of the property at the market related yield applicable at the time.
• The group's income tax charge and balance sheet provision are judgmental in nature. This arises from certain transactions for which the ultimate tax treatment can only be determined by final resolution with the relevant local tax authorities. The group recognises in its tax provision certain amounts in respect of taxation that involve a degree of estimation and uncertainty where the tax treatment cannot finally be determined until a resolution has been reached by the relevant tax authority. The carrying amount of this provision is often dependent on the timetable and progress of discussions and negotiations with the relevant tax authorities, arbitration processes and legal proceedings in the relevant tax jurisdictions in which the group operates. Issues can take many years to resolve and assumptions on the likely outcome would therefore have to be made by the group.
• Where appropriate, the group has utilised expert external advice as well as experience of similar situations elsewhere in making any such provisions. Determination of interest income and interest expense using the effective interest rate method involves judgement in determining the timing and extent of future cash flows.
Accounting policies, significant judgements and disclosures
These unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial results have been prepared in terms of the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards, and the presentation and disclosure requirements of IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting".
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the results for the year to 31 March 2021 are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements for year ended 31 March 2020 other than the amendments to various standards in respect of IBOR reform phase two, which were early adopted this year. The adoption of these amendments has had no impact in the current year.
The effective date of the demerger of the asset management business was 13 March 2020 and admission of the Ninety One Limited shares and the Ninety One plc shares to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange was effected on 16 March 2020. The global asset management business has been disclosed as a discontinued operation and the income statement for the prior period has been appropriately re-presented. Refer to the discontinued operations note for further detail.
The financial results have been prepared under the supervision of Nishlan Samujh, the Group Finance Director. The preliminary financial statements for the year to 31 March 2021 are available on the group's website:
www.investec.com

Definitions
• Total group represents the group's results including the results of discontinued operations in the prior period.
• Adjusted operating profit refers to operating profit before goodwill, acquired intangibles and strategic actions and after adjusting for earnings attributable to other non-controlling interests. Non-IFRS measures such as adjusted operating profit are considered as pro forma financial information as per the JSE Listing Requirements. The pro forma financial information is the responsibility of the group's Board of Directors. Pro-forma financial information was prepared for illustrative purposes and because of its nature may not fairly present the issuer's financial position, changes in equity or results of operations. The external auditors performed a review of the pro-forma financial information and the opinion is available for inspection at the registered office of Investec upon request.
• Adjusted earnings is calculated by adjusting basic earnings attributable to shareholders for the amortisation of acquired intangible assets, non-operating items including strategic actions, and earnings attributable to perpetual preference shareholders and other additional tier 1 security holders.
• Adjusted basic earnings per share is calculated as adjusted earnings attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
• Headline earnings is adjusted earnings plus the after tax financial effect of strategic actions and the amortisation of acquired intangible assets. This adjustment specifically excludes the after-tax gains realised on the demerger and the sale of subsidiaries in FY2020 but includes the transaction costs incurred. Headline earnings is an earnings measure required to be calculated and disclosed by the JSE and is calculated in accordance with the guidance provided in Circular 1/2021.
• Headline earnings per share (HEPS) is calculated as headline earnings divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
• Basic earnings is earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders as defined by IAS33 Earnings Per Share.
• Dividend payout ratio is calculated as the dividend per share divided by adjusted earnings per share.
• The credit loss ratio is calculated as expected credit loss (ECL) impairment charges on gross core loans as a percentage of average gross core loans subject to ECL.
• The cost to income ratio is calculated as: operating costs divided by operating income before expected credit loss impairment charges (net of operating profits or losses attributable to other non-controlling interests).
• Return on average ordinary shareholders' equity (ROE) is calculated as adjusted earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by average ordinary shareholders' equity.
• Return on average tangible ordinary shareholders' equity (ROTE) is calculated as adjusted earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by average tangible ordinary shareholders' equity.
• Core loans is defined as net loans to customers plus net own originated securitised assets.
• NCI is non-controlling interests.

Exchange rates between local currencies and Pounds Sterling have fluctuated over the period. The most significant impact arises from the volatility of the Rand. The average Rand: Pound Sterling exchange rate over the period has depreciated by 13.6% against the comparative 12 month period ended 31 March 2020, and the closing rate has appreciated by 8.1% since 31 March 2020. The following tables provide an analysis of the impact of the Rand on our reported numbers.

Income statement restatements
Interest income and fee and commission income restatement
During the year to 31 March 2021, management identified that revenue relating to services rendered to customers (for the facilitation of import and export transactions) was previously reported within interest income rather than within fee and commission income.
As a result, interest income and fee and commission income for the prior year have been restated. The restatement has no impact on total operating income in the income statement, earnings per share (basic and diluted), headline earnings, the statement of cash flows and the balance sheet.
The impact of the restatement on the 31 March 2020 income statement is:

Depreciation on operating leased assets
Depreciation on operating leased assets of £0.6 million (31 March 2020: £1.4 million), which was previously reported as a separate line item on the income statement, has been included in operating costs. The prior year has been restated to reflect the same basis.
Amortisation of acquired intangibles of associates
Amortisation of acquired intangibles of associates of £9.3million (31 March 2020: £0.5 million) was previously reported in the line item amortisation of acquired intangibles on the income statement . In the current year it has been reported on a separate line item on the income statement being amortisation of acquired intangibles of associates. The prior year has been restated to reflect the same basis.
Balance sheet restatements
Software and Other acquired intangible assets
Software of £12.6 million (31 March 2020: £14.6 million), which was previously reported within intangible assets, is now reported as a separate line item. The prior year has been re-presented to reflect the same basis.
Perpetual preference share capital and premium
Perpetual preference share premium of £174.1 million
(31 March 2020: £168.5 million), which was previously reported within share premium, is now reported within Perpetual preference share capital and premium. The prior year has been re-presented to reflect the same basis.
The re-presentation of software and the perpetual preference share premium was done to provide users enhanced clarity on the values used to calculate net asset values and the various ROE ratios.
Gilts and total return swaps reclassification
As at 31 March 2021, amounts previously reported within sovereign debt securities, derivative financial instruments and securities arising from trading activities have been corrected to present them as reverse repurchase agreements and cash collateral on securities borrowed. This change in accounting treatment has been made where sovereign debt securities have been purchased at the same time as total return swaps with the same counterparty, such that the combined position has the economic substance similar to secured lending. The prior year balance sheet has been restated to give a consistent presentation.This change has no impact on the income statement.
The impact of this change on the 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2019 balance sheet is:

Cash flow statement restatements
As at 31 March 2021, amounts previously reported within loans and advances to banks have been correctly presented as cash and cash equivalents. This change has been made to include items previously reported as loans and advances to banks identified as short term in nature, with a maturity date of less than three months, which therefore meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents. The prior year has been restated as follows:

Financial instruments at fair value
The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair value measurements are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation technique used.
The different levels are identified as follows:
Level 1 - quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Sensitivity of fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions by level 3 instrument type
The fair value of financial instruments in level 3 are measured using valuation techniques that incorporate assumptions that are not evidenced by prices from observable market data. The below valuations have been considered taking the global pandemic of COVID-19 into consideration. The following table shows the sensitivity of these fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions, determined at a transactional level:

* The sensitivity of the fair value of liabilities arising on securitisation of other assets has been considered together with other securitised assets.
^ Other - The valuation sensitivity has been assessed by adjusting various inputs such as expected cash flows, discount rates, earnings multiples rather than a single input. It is deemed appropriate to reflect the outcome on a portfolio basis for the purposes of this analysis as the sensitivity of the assets cannot be determined through the adjustment of a single input.
^^ Underlying asset values are calculated by reference to a tangible asset, for example property, aircraft or shares.
∗ The EBITDA and cash flows have been stressed on an investment-by-investment basis in order to obtain favourable and unfavourable valuations.
In determining the value of level 3 financial instruments, the following are the principal input that can require judgement:
Credit spreads
Credit spreads reflect the additional yield that a market participant would demand for taking exposure to the credit risk of an instrument. The credit spread for an instrument forms part of the yield used in a discounted cash flow calculation. In general a significant increase in a credit spread in isolation will result in a movement in fair value that is unfavourable for the holder of a financial instrument.
Discount rates
Discount rates (including WACC) are used to adjust for the time value of money when using a discounted cash flow valuation method. Where relevant, the discount rate also accounts for illiquidity, market conditions and uncertainty of future cash flows.
Volatilities
Volatility is a key input in the valuation of derivative products containing optionality. Volatility is a measure of the variability or uncertainty in returns for a given derivative underlying. It represents an estimate of how much a particular underlying instrument, parameter or index will change in value over time.
Cash flows
Cash flows relate to the future cash flows which can be expected from the instrument and requires judgement.
EBITDA
The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. This is the main input into a price earnings multiple valuation method.
Price-earnings multiple
The price earnings ratio is an equity valuation multiple. It is a key driver in the valuation of unlisted investments.
Property value and precious and industrial metals
The property value and precious and industrial metals is a key driver of future cash flows on these investments.
Underlying asset value
In instances where cash flows have links to referenced assets, the underlying asset value is used to determine the fair value. The underlying asset valuation is derived using observable market prices sourced from broker quotes, specialist valuers or other reliable pricing sources
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost
The following table sets out the fair value of financial instruments held at amortised cost when the carrying value is not a reasonable approximation of fair value.
